Event HIV Prevention Class for African American Men
Posted by Bianca Phillips on Fri, Feb 26, 2010 at 4:46 PM
Planned Parenthood of Memphis has teamed up with the Memphis Gay and Lesbian Community Center (MGLCC) to offer a seven-session program aimed at preventing HIV and other STDs among African American men.
Called "Many Men, Many Voices," the workshop series is aimed at black men who have sex with men, but the participants don't necessarily have to identify as gay. The target audience includes heterosexual men "on the down low," who enjoy gay sex unbeknownst to their female partners.
The intervention sessions will address sexual relationship dynamics, factors that influence the behavior of black men who live "on the down low," and the social influences that racism and homophobia have on HIV risk.
In order to participate in the seven-week program, men must show up for the first session on Sunday, February 28th at MGLCC at 6:30 p.m.

Come on out that closet you two. It's mighty stuffy in there. I will turn my head so that you both can pull up your pants. LOL!!
Hey asshole, what's wrong with being gay? Is that supposed to be some kind of insult?
We were not responding to the article. There was an earlier comment here that has since been deleted from some religious whack-job trying to sell a fake HIV cure. I can see where you might think we were saying the seminar was snake oil, but no, we were bidding that piece of shit Godspeed back to the netherworld from which he came.
@auto. That was pretty funny. I never saw the first comment, but I was thinking "damn auto, I don't even think they are charging for the class. "
Yeah, it probably doesn't look good with my reply hanging up there after the one to which it responded got deleted, but really, I don't mind too much. Exploiting sick people with a fake cure is one of the most evil things a person can do. I don't regret my comment.
